From the Heart of American Music to the Next Generation

Supporting the Dream Behind Nat King Cole Generation Hope

 

Twin daughters of music legend Nat King Cole, Timolin and Casey Cole of Boca Raton, launched Nat King Cole Generation Hope, Inc. in 2008 to honor the legacy, music and life of their father Nat King Cole and mother Maria Cole after learning of budget cuts in public schools directly affecting the arts.

Our season-ending Concert for a Cause supports Nat King Cole Generation Hope, a nonprofit founded by Timolin and Casey Cole, the twin daughters of legendary music icon Nat King Cole.


Rooted in their father’s legacy of musical excellence and cultural influence, the organization believes that music education is not a privilege—it’s an essential right for all children.

“At a time when so many children face unprecedented challenges, music education has never been more essential and urgently needed,” write the Cole sisters.


“We are honored to build on our father’s legacy to expand access to music learning opportunities for underserved youth.”

Based in Palm Beach County, Nat King Cole Generation Hope funds music programming, mentorship, and instruments for children who otherwise would have none—while supporting the work of dedicated music teachers.


One of their signature efforts is Summer Strings at Lynn University, a two-week music camp where students from underserved communities receive intensive musical training and mentorship from professional musicians and educators.
